Sorry I dont understand German, but I guess L399 is your feedback.

Honestly I have about 6 suggestions of L classification for them starting at L173, 236, 399, 400, 345, Lower Xingu. It has also been suggested many times that this could be a new race of previously unknown Hypans - which is very possible, there is a lot of uncharted water in that region and the locals know better than anyone whats there. My head is spinning with the debate and maybe I'll regret the time and money invested in getting them to Europe. I had hoped there would be positive interest in them and several groups available for serious breeders.

It took 7 months to source these fish and the supplier was tasked with sourcing L173, he said no problem I;ve had them before and they went to Malaysia. So very excitedly we thought we are on to something. That was in June 2009 and finally the fish arrived in Europe last week. There was a previous batch due before hand but one of the middle men got made an offer he could receive and the batch went to Japan (apparently).

The fish were caught approximately 20hrs down river from the mouth of the Xingu/Iriri, they were in clear water very deep and very fast current. It took the fisherman 3 days to catch them as the conditions were very dangerous. From the Iriri they travelled by boat to down river and across to Itaituba on the Rio Tapajos from there they were transferred to my supplier. It took approximately 6 -8 weeks from capture to export. Over the last 9 months I have built up a very good relationship with the supplier and have no reason to doubt his word. He has told me since that he has NO intention of going through that again and will not go looking for this specie for me again. So this is probably the first and last shipment of these fish.

I think people will just have to trust there instincts and not be disturbed my the opinions of many, they have cost L173 money and i have also paid for the time it took and the trips my contact made around South America to source them. 399/400s wouldnt have cost me as much as these did, I also have large L46s from him and they are sensibly priced. These are double the UK price of wild H Zebra.

I can ship/deliver these to Germany/Holland if anyone is seriously interested then please PM me to discuss further.
